Patient's question:
Last year in the second half of the year, my menstrual flow was less, but the duration was longer by 7-10 days. I went to the hospital for many examinations, including ultrasound, colposcopy, cervical scraping, and endocrine tests. Everything else was fine, except that my progesterone level was slightly low. The doctor prescribed some medication to regulate my period. In the first month, it was fine; it ended in 6 days. But in the second month, it didn't work again. Later, the doctor prescribed more progesterone. Now, I don't know if this condition is caused by the progesterone, but other tests show no other problems. I would like to ask the experts for an explanation to my confusion. Thank you.First follow-up question: My child is already 3 years old.

Doctor's answer:
Do you know if you are married and have children? If you have already had children, you have likely undergone many tests that can rule out other diseases. Whether your menstruation is normal doesn't matter.Treatment with progesterone and other cyclical therapies, apart from the suffering caused by their side effects, will not be effective in the long run. That is, when used, it may seem normal, but without it, it will not be normal. Its temporary normalcy is the result of medication, not a fundamental solution.
You don’t need to take any medication and can wait and see how your menstruation goes.
If you plan to have children, focus on addressing fertility-related issues.
